Add visual/audio feedback for like/dislike/unrate keyboard shortcuts for fullscreen mode
⚬ PROBLEM: There is no feedback for when you like/dislike/unrate a video if you are fullscreen and can not see the buttons under the video. (See how this extension does it)
⚬ SOLUTION: Add a quick popup to the screen in the style of the default one when you play/pause a video that indicates your action
⚬ ALTERNATIVES: An alternative could be a quick sound that plays. That could be a good option to add as well for people to choose
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: This would be a good change to make by default, but of course, options to change it or revert it to how it is currently would be a good idea to have too. This is something relevant to most, if not all YouTube users.
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS": One possible side effect could be it being annoying to users, but this can easily be fixed with an option to disable the feature. The only other thing I can think of that it could conflict with is any of YouTube's own popups on the player, but it's such a quick little thing that I don't imagine it would cause much of an issue, if any.

hi & thanks! @Large-Croissant An animation and a sound could both be sub-options enabled by default and appearing below the short cut, only once a shortcut is set.
Each could have another suboption: Only in fullscreen mode Or this could be another two 3-way switches..
Debate: Why have a shortcut at all for something done relatively rarely?
